| Der barrel higher than yesterday. The wheat
| market opened steady on favorable cables
the starting price for May being 1870, and

mand Is Less urgent. Increased arrivals of
| oat had weakening influence, and prices
ruled 3s(g1ac lower, closing for the day at

| active throughout. The feeling was unsettled
| and somewhat excited, with frequent and
occasionally wide fluctuations in prices.

| pork early, and offerings at the start were
| liberal. The temper soon turned buIlish. Nav
| delivery advanced from $l8 20 to $l4 35 per
barrel. fell back to $l4 q, but rallied and
| cl1 sed at Sl4 80. One of the causes for The
| reaction was the belief that the free offerings

ducts here. This tended to make shorts
nervous. and caused them to cover contracts.
